Thanks! I've already built the sedan, I think it's been 2 years since I've had it.

The one on the right is the Honda Fit, we own one so I had to make one

That's cool but I mean a stand-alone 617.

OK, now post it on the lego site so I can buy one!

Unfortunately that won't be as easy as I thought. First, there are several bricks/pieces I've used in these models that Lego may have already phased out and they probably won't make them anymore. Hence, functionality will definitely be affected. I count 25 pieces that are in the wagon that aren't included in the LDD program.

Second, I have to build this model in the LDD software, and the wheels I installed are not available from the program but rather in separate sets you can buy (yes, just for the wheels/parts).

Alright, I was in a building frenzy last night and I've managed to update the sedan, finalize the wagon, AND make an AMG 280CE replica of a friend's car. The wheels aren't exactly similar, but I guess they're good enough.

My MOCpages site should be updated in a few hours so the images could be public. Look here

Yep, Ralph's very nice rendition of the w123 in slightly larger scale than mine.

I wish I had so many beige pieces, so I can make my own mini-MBeige. Ralph beat me to it. So I asked if I could buy it from him, he declined...

I have two rubbermaid 20 gallon containers filled to the brim with Legos sitting in my parents storage.

I played with them until I was 17... Makes me want to take them back. I really don't need another hobby, though. The Star Trek and Car obsession is enough to scare off women. Add playing with legos in the basement...

Want to dispose of them?

That is a very serious collection of legos. Perhaps you should organize them.

When my son was a toddler I would try to help him build lego stuff when we got him a new lego set. But he would look at me and say very seriously, "Do it self." So I would let him do it without me being too intrusive. He did allow me to organize and line up all of the pieces on the carpet so it was easier for him to find them.
